Road Marks (Road Painting Tool)

The Road Marks tool is used to place all types of road surface markings on the map. These markings represent real-world traffic guidance elements such as:

  • Arrows
  • Symbols
  • Text markings
  • Crosswalks (zebra crossings)
  • Lane direction indicators

Road Marks are essential for creating accurate and readable road layouts in RepliMap.

Auto Road Selection

The Auto Road Selection tool controls which road receives the road mark when you place it on the canvas.

Setting Behaviour
Enabled Road marks are automatically added to the nearest road.
Disabled Select the road using Right-Click before placing; the road mark is placed only on the selected road.

For complex junctions where automatic detection may be wrong, turn Auto Road Selection off, Right-Click the road you want, then place the road mark with drag and drop.

Object Properties Panel

After placing a Road Mark, the Object Properties Panel allows you to modify its attributes. It is the same panel as the Object Properties Panel used for other objects.

You can adjust:

  • Position alignment
  • Rotation (direction of markings)
  • Scale (size adjustment)
  • Visibility settings
  • Style and appearance (depending on object type)
